I usually make a mozzarella dough crust when we have pizza night (I use this recipe), but every once in a while, I just don’t have the time or ingredients to whip up a base. Instead of buying a store-bought pizza or ordering take-out and scraping off the toppings to stay on plan, these Meat-Lover Pizza Cups are tastier and faster to put together!
Made with no special ingredients, all you need is:
- 12 deli ham slices (the thinner they are, the crispier they get in the oven)
- sugar-free pizza sauce
- sugar-free bulk Italian sausage
- mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni slices
- crumbled bacon
Lining a 12-cup muffin tin with the ham slices makes a nice pocket for the rest of the toppings. You could throw some green peppers, red onion, or mushrooms on top for a bit of variety.
Obviously, these Meat-Lover Pizza Cups deliver a whole lot more protein than vegetables; don’t forget to pair them with some non-starchies for a nutritional boost if you’re eating them as a meal. These also make great appetizers and quick lunches through the busy holiday season. You can cook them up, store them in the fridge, and re-heat in the toaster oven or microwave.
These Meat-Lover Pizza Cups are essentially the very best parts of a pizza scraped off into a tasty little low-carb bowl! A fast and easy THM S. Meat-Lover Pizza Cups | THM : S

How many can you eat as an S serving. One?
I’m full with two for a serving. There’s no real limit with S meals – just a sensible serving size…until you’re satisfied.
Where do you find thin sliced deli ham with no sugars in it?
sara lee has great no sugar deli meats
@Julie Todd… I ended up using Hormel Natural Choice sliced ham – no nitrites or nitrates. It has 1 carb per slice, but I didn’t have any other. Still tasted great!
Would like nutritional info per serving if you’ve got it.
Hi
Pls tell me Marcos for this dish
Macros can’t be calculated without knowing the amount of deli meat and pepperoni used.
Assuming it is 168g of deli meat (14g/slice) and 45g of pepperoni – the macros would be (per pizza or 139g)
402.2 kcal
26.7g Protein
4.4g Net Carbs
30.4g Fat
chronometer is a fantastic app for tracking macros but also for plugging in recipes to calculate macros
There is no such thing as “sugar free” pizza sauce. Any diabetic will know this, as I am and do know this. The main ingredient in the sauce is tomato, and tomato has natural sugar content. Sugar is sugar regardless the source or form it takes.
I think they mean no added sugar, which in my book is sugar free
This looks so good but it would be helpful for those of us who like to track macros to see the calories / fat / net carb/ protein/ breakdown.
I agree! Jacinda please add these. I surf for recipes and new ideas all the time and immediately leave if the site doesn’t offer even an idea of the calories. I am just too busy to add all the recipes that I come across into my logging program if the macros aren’t going to work for me. Hope you can add this, you have many good looking recipes.
Use an app called Senza to track nutritional info.
What are macros?
These are AMAZING! I prefer them over fathead dough pizza, plus the combination choices are endless, just pick your favorite pizza and make it in the ham shell. Thanks for sharing!
